Discover the rich flavors of Filipino cuisine at Ambers, where culinary delight meets budget-friendly dining.

Becky was the first one to introduce me to  Amber  where she brought pork barbeque and pancit . It has been a long time eating there. Carmina was craving for pork barbeque. I had suggested to Becky to dine in person at Ambers after picking her up at her home. Upon entering there weren't that many people more on take outs we had looked over the menu since the print was too small to read decided to take a picture and zoom it on my phone. Becky and Carmina decided to share five pieces of pork barbecue. Becky ordered carbonara , and I chose one to serve of rice. You can choose where to sit when dining inside Amber. There is a restroom available, but it does not provide toilet paper, and it is a unisex facility. If you have leftovers can ask for assistant to have it wrapped up for you. Becky also recommended to try their pichi pichi which had ordered for takeout bring it home to eat. After trying it at home very soft even if you put in the refrigerator and warm in the microwave th...

Best Deals for MTB in Your Area

Did you ever wonder why they call it MTB it is short cut for mountain bike? Where does a person shop for a MTB in California or any other country if they are not in a tight budget most people buy it in a cycling shop in their area? But, if you are most people who are in a tight budget and don't really care for a second hand there are a lot of people selling it and the following sites: Carousell in the Philippines Locanto in the Philippines Craigslist  - World Wide Facebook Marketplace There are so many who are need to sell their bikes for financial reasons or something came up of an emergency. This is what I have notice some people don't only own just one bike there are actually people who also have a variety of bikes some are for collection or others because they feel they want it has a hobby but for ever reason it is they buy for a reason.

MTB from California vs Philippines

We have talked about places to travel but there are other things than traveling alone that doesn’t require a plane ticket and something everyone already have in their home which is a bike. Last year I had decided to learn how to ride a bike due to my friends back home in California always talking about riding a bike as their hobby or sport. The first step is choosing the right bike for you there is different choices to choose from: Trail Bikes Cross Country Bikes Mountain Bike Fat Bike Downhill Bike First you decided what type of mountain bike you want to buy and what type of purpose or area you plan to ride because all bike have different type of purpose. At first I thought a bike is just a bike you just ride but when I found out later there are different types of bikes because it all depends on your use for it.  Did you know there are certain bikes you use for sand and snow which is the fat bike that have the big wheels? I use to laugh at the fa...

What is the Limit Being Nice?

We come across people who are too nice when it comes in family, friendship, relationship or at work environment and it comes across when you’re too nice people tend to take advantage of you when you don’t limit yourself. Being nice comes in factors where you are the following: Taken Advantage Taken for Granted to all your have done for someone Sometimes we need to limit ourselves being too nice because when you give all you have for someone in any matter from family, friendship, relationship and work it all comes to one you don’t get recognized yourself and you become to have a more complicated life than others and it over laps with each other where you can no longer recognize your mistakes. I am sure everyone has come across their life being too nice because we’re told by our parents. But, what they haven’t informed us there is a limit how nice a person can be in every life we have a limit to be nice or to be mean to any situation. We cannot always say yes ...

Hidden Appearance

When we talk to people on the phone through chat, calls or video we really don’t get to see the person fully they are only half body and everything is still hidden we wonder if their appearance have changed over the last time we have seen them in person. Just yesterday I heard my employee in her office and our family driver inside and I had missed entering inside but due to social distance I was able to just talk to them through a window that was near the stair case. I was hidden by a curtain that both of us couldn’t see each other. All we can hear our voices as we just kept talking  to each other and telling stories as we would normally do if I can see them. Our secretary Janelle was wondering how I had looked in person. I asked, her if she had lost the weight she had wanted too when we last saw each other in person. Janelle just laughed at me and said, there is no such thing as diet for me it doesn’t seem to trigger me to lose the weight. Janelle asked, me how abou...

California vs Philippine Life Style

Living in the Philippines doesn’t mean you don’t do your own house chorus even if you have someone working for you at your home doesn’t necessary mean their doing all your work for you. I have friends who think when you live in the Philippines you live like a Princess or in a royal highness life where they serve you off like what they see in the movies. I live opposite of what people imagine in their heads living in California all my life and being independent at a very young age to be hard working to pay what you felt your parents couldn’t afford for you made you work enough what expenses you can buy from your own earning. Sometimes people believe or hear that when there are house hold employees working in your home you don’t have the same responsibilities as you have living in California. Ever since I moved off from California I kept myself away from living what other people do by depending  on the workers in my heart I know I will one day move back to my ...

Sleeping Pattern

A week ago I have been having a hard time sleeping and I notice my pattern of my sleeping changing I would sleep at 2:00 AM wake up after one hour sleep or two end up turning on my internet and see who was online to chat with my California friends back home. I felt someone was thinking of me because I seemed to be restless and my eyes we’re tired but for some reason I couldn’t shut my eyes to sleep. There is a saying here in the Philippines when you have a child and they will be separated from you they ask you not to think of them. I remembered a long time ago my in-law had visited a relative who had a baby living aboard. The baby couldn’t sleep on its sleeping pattern because someone was thinking of him and it had affected the baby. The baby kept crying and no matter if you’ve given them their milk or change their diaper nothing seems to help them. The parent had to call up their in-law to stop thinking of the baby and all a sudden after that calls the baby was ab...

Gap Between Friendship

What I had notice during our sheltered stay at home we seem to have a lot of time to reconnect with our friends who seem to busy working or taking care of the household at this time in our life we seem to have more time to chat, talk over the phone and catch up what has happened to the days or years that has crossed off our calendar. We realized how much we have missed during the times we had no time to reconnect with our friends and how much changes has happened in their life. As we share stories with one another we become connected to their world and we seem to be able to focus on what has happened to them and we tend to share our laughter or our tears as we listen what they have to say. Another thing I have notice you come across from old friends you have knew in the past and they start to add you in your social media and you come across to the point on getting to know each other for some many years as passed you don’t even know where to begin. You feel you have a lot...

Clarify from the Real

This generation people use filters in their pictures, food, places and any objects that they find interesting for them to make something look like it has been advertised. We hardly see anything that looks natural when they we’re just born how they look people tend to overpower themselves and cover up the imagine who they really they are not and we come to a point we can no longer recognize those people when they post it as their profile picture because the person who we knew before didn’t look how they looked. Not only filters is the trend having their plastic surgery to make them change their look forever and what happen when they have a passport and they travel how do those people get recognized when their faces look different from what is originally from their passport. Do they get rejected and need to make apply for a new passport because their face has looked different? I have a lot of friends having plastic surgery done or having facial implants. People do wh...

Twine To Connect

Problem occurs in a marriage sometimes the spouses are over whelmed from their problems that occurs to them and emotionally they start to look for an attention that comes from someone they meet randomly. Some people find it easier to talk about their problems to a stranger than someone who knows who they really are and when we find a person to cry and share our pain with sour our love transfer to someone else. There are so many people who come across who drifts away from reality and goes beyond in some pattern in their life the twines them to connect to another person. To some people it is a common pattern that they take to make their life more complicated than how it is really is or they find it more challenging to add on another person in their life. I’ve heard so many stories from other people and stories we also see in any social media but when you sum up the other person who gets involved there comes a point in life you are destroying someone else’s life. Ri...

Traveling Within Your Reach in the Philippines

We always hear someone saying there are places they would like to visit places because they have seen from their friends who had recently traveled. When we see our friend’s picture we start to envy them and we tend to follow or copy them because the area that they have traveled has caught our eyes. Sometimes people envy other people because they wish they could find the time to travel just like a mother and a daughter are exploring with one another. As we aged we look at ourselves and we don’t realize we should travel while we can still walk and enjoy our money because they saved up we cannot bring it with us. There are people who work really hard but don’t see the opportunity to give them time to travel and live the life the fullest in their mind they need to earn the money for other priorities listed in their mind. I love traveling and exploring new places right now I feel helpless I would love to go out and explore like anyone else who might feel the same way. ...

We Look, Share and Discover

Changing places often people become drawn and to adapt the feeling sense they are comfortable where they are at it doesn’t matter if you are in a new home with an environment you wish to keep a full life time. Sometimes we are being tested to see if we can manage the new changes that come our way. Sometimes changes are good in our life but sometime we want to keep the same pattern we do daily. Of course new pattern are also good and gives you a push to look for a new challenge in your life. When we are staying in our home a lot comes in mind and when you have already done the entire task you run out of other things to do. This is me right now I am done with to do list and now I am lost and just standing in one place trying to do what is next. I decided to my list of places I would like to visit when I travel to my home town places I have never been too and would like too: Big Sur Pescadero Mono Hot Springs Muir Woods Murals, Sacramento Google Grand Can...

American Girl with Slang Tagalog Accent

Recently, I had added my old friends whom I grew up when I was younger and while they we're watching my videos I had posted my friend made a comment did you adapted the accent of a Filipina because your voice sound so different. I never had a slight feeling my voice was different may be I have been living in the Philippines since year 2008 and to me I had to adjust myself when I only understood Tagalog in what my parents taught me when I was really young. I also spoke English and during the time I had moved it wasn't really spoken much here. I had a difficult talking to the employees who was living in the same house with different languages from their province in the Philippines. You start living in the Philippines for a long time you end up picking up words your employee tell you as well on your own when you listen to Tagalog music and Tagalog movies no matter what you can pick it up easily when you are inspired to learn. The funny part my mom, my sister and I all s...

Skimming the Post

As the month of May is approaching people keep thinking I will be traveling again to California to be with my family and friends where I get to really explore. A funny thing happen to me last night someone asked me are you pushing through your trip next month and are you sure about it. Than the same person said, I’ve made a list of stuff to buy me when you reach there. I was thinking in my mind who told you I was traveling this year. So, I told the person I am not crazy to fly and get covid -19 on the plane. I never told you I am flying this year. I said, year 2021. This is what I realized people only pay attention to certain details since month of May is approaching people assume it is next month when they hear May. I have notice this too when I am posting picture and videos that have already been dated when taken people don’t read it as well. I had one relative asked, me I saw your video with Ruth’s voices with Manang Ofel in the background and Rutheyn’s in...
